When btree_split_beneath() splits a node to two new children, it will
allocate two blocks: left and right. If right block's allocation
failed, the left block will be unlocked and marked dirty. If this
happened, the left block'ss content is zero, because it wasn't
initialized with the btree struct before the attempot to allocate the
right block. Upon return, when flushing the left block to disk, the
validator will fail when check this block. Then a BUG_ON is raised.
Fix this by completely initializing the left block before allocating and
initializing the right block.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
